The ACC announced Sunday that UNC’s regular season football finale at No. 10 Miami this Saturday will kick off at 3:30 p.m. and be televised nationally on ABC.

This will mark the second time in three weeks that the Tar Heels have earned the national television treatment, having had their 31-17 loss to Notre Dame back on Nov. 27 also shown on ABC.

UNC is coming off of a 49-9 blowout over FCS opponent Western Carolina, in what was a tune-up game before this showdown with the Hurricanes.

Miami will enter the game with a 9-1 record, while the Tar Heels sit at 7-3.
